Diana - A 1D FanFic

Chapter 10- Better Than Words

Chapter 10.  Better Than Words

My eyes burn.

I’ve been trying to sleep for about three or four hours now, and I just can’t. I keep thinking about the kiss, that wonderful kiss. It was perfect. I loved it, but it just ruined so much. I just wish I could say something, do something about it, but I can’t. I don’t know why. That’s just how I work I guess.

It’s very confusing, he acts like nothing happened and I’m just sitting there like, well alrighty then. I don’t really know how to act around him anymore. Should I even be stressing about this? Are we dating? What I s going on?

 I can feel him fidgeting on the floor of my bedroom. Yup, I have a boy in my room.

And he’s sleeping on the floor.

 And I kissed him.

Grandma wouldn’t approve.

Niall has reasons to be up, his dad, I mean. Not me. He’s most likely no thinking about me, but here I am freaking out about him.  Thinking about him,  day dreaming about him. Picturing the kiss, imaging his arms wrapped around me and his warmth warming my body.  

I seriously cannot sleep.

Niall sat up and I quickly shut my eyes pretending to sleep. Fake sleeping is my talent, thank you very much.  I can feel his gaze burning into my skull. Was he thinking about me? He sighed and laid back down.  Was he thinking about me? Does he really care?

This little leprechaun is seriously messing with my head. I don’t like it. How long has it been now?

I check the clock and it’s 2:55 am. Everything bad always happens at this time. I’m going to die.

I sighed loudly, and mentally slapped myself, remembering Niall was in my room.

“Diana?” He called.

“Yeah?” The words left my mouth without my permission.

“I can’t sleep” He admitted.

“Neither can I” I admitted, in a low voice. I could hear Niall shuffling in his sheets, and then I heard footsteps. My bed dipped. My covers were pulled up and he climbed in. His warmth immediately warmed my bed, immersing me in pure joy. “You’ll help me sleep” He said with a smirk. His eyes light up the whole room, it was the brightest thing in the dark, the only thing capturing my attention.

“Glad to help” I replied with a smile. He snuggled up beside me and wrapped his arms around my small waist. His chest firmly pressed into my back, is hot breath putting me in a trance I don’t want to leave.  All my muscles relaxed as I felt his chest rise and fall under me. His fingers feeling the fabric of my shirt.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this before, butterflies, a pack of them, roaring in my stomach. I love it. I just down know how to sum it up, words aren’t good enough. It’s simply better than words.

And after four hours, I drift into a peaceful sleep.

I woke up to the familiar sound of my alarm ringing. I opened my eyes glaring at my alarm. I hate that little piece of crap.

I felt a pair of arms wrapped around my waist and a warm feeling. I instantly relaxed and I was glad I was awake.

 Did you hear that? I was glad I was awake. For once, reality is actually better than my dreams. It’s a miracle. I might even become a morning person. Nah, probably not.

Niall stirred next to me. His eyes slowly popped open one by one. Each of his eyelids flauntering his eyelashes. His eyes met mine and he smiled, a big smile. “Mornin’” He said in a groany, moany voice.

I think I’m drooling.

“Time for school” I said in a cheery, obnoxious voice.

He groaned loudly and  I began getting up slowly making my way out of bed.  He tugged on my waist and I plopped back onto my bed. “No, my teddy” He said in a childish voice. I let out a cackle. He began tickling me, and  burst into a huge laugh session. His fingers caressing my skin, and leaving me breathless. He began chuckling. And for the first time I felt alive, and I liked it. He stopped, he looked into my eyes. He had me pinned against the bed. My wrist trapped in his grasp. He sat on my stomach . He licked his lips and his eyes looked down at my lips, and he looked at me. With the same cloudy eyes as last night. His face inched closer to mine. Our noses brushed, I took in his sweet smell, and I felt light headed. I just can’t. It’s something about him that makes me go crazy. I just can’t describe this feeling I get near him. He makes, me strong, and happy, and I really like him. He brought his lips closer, and just as they were about to touch, someone knocks on my door.

“Diana, sweetie, hurry now, you’re going to be late!” Niall backed away and sat on the bed. “Thanks grandma” I replied.

“C’mon loser” I said throwing a pillow at him. I picked out some clothes. A pair of leggings, a comfy grey sweater, and my favorite beanie. I walked to the bathroom, locking the door. I brushed my teeth and my hair. Got dressed and quickly applied some mascara, and eyeliner. I ran back out of the bathroom, and walked in on Niall, shirtless.

 Cue the drool.

I quickly threw my hands in the air and covered up my eyes.

He let out a loud laugh, as he continued put on his shirt.

“Diana! Who are you talking to?!” Grandma yelled from downstairs.

“Siri!” I yelled back, Niall chuckled.

“Who’s that?” She asked me.

“My phone!” I yelled back.

“Silly girl!” grandma yelled.

“Nice save” He whispered.

“Oh shut it, ok listen up here’s the plan. You get out from the window, I’ll text you when to get in your car and get out of the driveway before she notices. I’ll distract her. I’ll tell her you’re picking me up for school. Got it?” I said quickly.

“Yes madam” Niall teased I glared at him.

“Go now!” I whisper yelled. He got his school bag and hopped out the window. I got my school bag and coat and ran downstairs.

TO Niall:

Now!

“Hey Grandma” I greeted her in a hug. I saw Niall run past the window and into his car.

“Niall’s coming to pick me up” I said pointing at his car.

“Oh, alright honey, be safe and have fun at school” she said pecking me on the cheek.

“Love you grandma” said waving. I ran out the front door.

I could see Niall smiling through the window. I hopped into and shot him a smile. He gave me a small , worried smile.

Why is he worried?

Stupid Diana, his dad!

Oh right.

“Don’t worry we’re not going to school today” I said smiling at him.

“Where are we going?” He asked me with a puzzled expression.

“Just drive Horan” I said smiling at him. He gave me a reassuring smile back as the car engine roared. All I could think about was Niall’s affect on me, the joy he gives me.

I hate it, but I love it.
